TIS THE SEASONSo much to do and not enough time in the day. This time of the year we add seasonal decorating and shopping to our all ready busy schedules. And there are friends and family to socialize with too.There are so many options in Louisville. Here are a few of our favorites.

Tis the season to shop till you drop.Try Louisvilles many small local boutiques in the St. Matthews Vogue Shopping Center or the Nulu West Market Street area. (www.nulueastmarket.com) Or you can always check out the shopping malls. The two best malls, the Mall St. Matthews and Oxmoor Mall are just a mile away from the inn. They offer a great mix of stores and top restaurants. If you want to take a little break from the shopping, a new Cinemark movie center complex has just opened in the Mall St. Matthews.Tis the season for family outings.Tours of historic homes are a traditional favorite with many local families and visitors.Locust Grove, Farmington and Whitehall are open for tours daily and decorated for the season as they would have been in 1790 and 1820. Volunteer docents dress in period costumes and portray the lives of famous early Kentuckians. Or try something different and begin a new tradition.

Louisville's Mega Cavern features six underground zip lines, including a fun filled dual racing zip, and two awesome challenge bridges. The new Mega Quest is an aerial adventure course using ropes and a variety of obstacles...definitely a workout. ( www.louisvillemegacavern.com )Tis the season to take a break from the hustle and bustle.Turn on some Christmas music, pick up a good book and settle in by a fireplace for a breather from all the activities of the season. Fix a bourbon hot toddy or a warm pot of tea and settle in for some peace and quiet. If you are taking that break at our inn we can arrange a great tea in your room for you.Or take a walk along the river walk downtown and a romantic carriage ride along the downtown streets near the river.

Room at the Table Cookbook

The Bed and Breakfast Association of Kentucky has released a new cookbook, Room at the Table. This cookbook not only features gourmet recipes from member properties, but also guides readers on a scenic tour of Kentucky through its beautiful photography. A wide assortment of recipes are included such as appetizers, beverages, breads, breakfast/brunch, soups, salads, sides, entrees, and desserts. Copies are available through member inns or online bookstores. Feel free to contact Inn at Woodhaven for more information - after spending a fun-filled summer traveling throughout Kentucky for photo shoots and then coordinating the layout and publication, I'd be glad to answer any questions you might have about the process or our favorite recipes!
